1. I would see this just for Kate McKinnon. 2. That doesn't change how racist the trailer is, but I'm holding out hope for the PhD in history thing. 3. It would be awesome and correct to say MTA employees have extensive, essential knowledge for Ghostbusting (or just in general), which Leslie Jones pointed out on Twitter. 4. But that doesn't change how racist the trailer is. Conflicted, really hope it's terrible editing.
Yeah, as an insomniac, that sounds pretty good.
yeah, on the one hand I like that tai chi dude Trey was presumably like, "I'm a dude and I will take responsibility for yelling at these terrible dudes." Because you know they wouldn't listen to women yelling at them. On the other hand it sounds like Trey didn't get the social power imbalance there that pressures women to forgive immediately and listen to people who victimize them, which he was then contributing to. And which in this case the community would obviously be like "fuck no keep your $$ go to a mountain or something with an athletic sock."
Dude #1 insisted on a private after prom "thing" instead of the progressive prom party with all our actual friends, I think because he was setting things up for sex in the back of his brother's SUV. He got mad and yelled at me when I didn't want to, because he'd gotten champagne and strawberries and everything, but I was only 15 and still had some boundaries and was like, "get the fuck away from me." We fell asleep fighting about it, but didn't break up until he went to college and had sex with as many people as possible and informed me of it later, but "let's just have a good summer" :).
Dude#2 was a straight-up gaslighting abuser, the reason I'm trying to not be an emotional lawyer all the time. [Insert years of stories here. No further explanation needed.]
Yeah! Guess who thought Prozac Nation was great in her early 20s? Guess who is now horrified at her former self for being a little too Wurtzel-aligned?
12. Our New Yorker subscription was a gift, and issues don't even make it to the bedside table. They float around the living room for a month and then I throw them in the trash while no one is looking. Please stop sending New Yorkers. It's a waste of literary journalism.
Goddamn you I can't stop laughing, and now I have a conference call
I don't... I don't know about sex magic sewer orgy either. I think I read it when I was Beverly's age. Also, it kinda made it seem like that was her thing, the power of the vJ to calm dudes down? Whereas that kid with asthma had his asthma medication to stick in that crawling eye or whatever. I think I'd be less weirded out if an adult man hadn't written that scene. If a 12 year old girl wanted to experiment for real, cool. As it is, I think it just made me feel very obligated to "calm boys down."
And I loooovved that book when I was a kid. I read it twice. And everything Stephen King. There are other obvious tropes in there (adults are oblivious and useless, the town is secretly creepy) that I was into.
ETA: Oh, so point being, -20 for feminism, for me personally
Well. I've never read this book. But this description sure has triggered a fantasy of burning down a house full of unwashed laundry and uncooked dinners. And dicks that should have remained unwaggled.
Ha, "literature probably." Can this book go on Solnit's list of things women should not read? My favorite line: "I understand there is a writer named Jonathan Franzen."
